Long Branch Housing and Community Development (LBHCD)
CHEER’s Long Branch Housing and Community Development Initiative is driven by goals from the Long Branch Stakeholders convened and facilitated by CHEER. CHEER convened a community-based process to address development related to the Purple Line in the Long Branch community. This process includes residents, local business owners, local nonprofits, and property owners. It facilitates participation by Long Branch community members, including those who are usually least represented, in planning and development decision making. This process leads to the development of plans for consideration by property owners, developers, and government decision makers.
